Osteochondroma (OC) or osteocartilaginous exostosis is characterized by cartilage capped, osseous projection protruding from the surface of affected bone. OC is the most common tumor of skeletal bones. This benign tumor can occur as a part of autosomal dominant syndrome called osteochondromatosis. Here, we describe a case report with our view in managing the patient and giving best treatment with the help of knowledge gained by literature and experience.
